If a Shrewsbury property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would just be required to evidence why the co proprietor is not included in the conveyance, such as the probate documents.
With the aim of making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased person erased from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
